As a result, the showpiece event in the football calendar, provisionally scheduled to take place on Saturday, 1st August, will be known as The Heads Up FA Cup Final.
Newcastle United are set to face holders Manchester City at the quarter-final stage later this month.
Spearheaded by HRH The Duke of Cambridge, Heads Up is a partnership between Heads Together and The FA that harnesses the influence and popularity of football to change the conversation on mental health.
The season-long Heads Up campaign was launched at The FA Community Shield and has been visible across all levels of football in England throughout the course of the 2019/20 season.
Culminating in The Heads Up FA Cup Final, the campaign has strived to raise awareness, spark conversation and signpost support for those in need, highlighting to the nation that we all have mental health and it is just as important as physical health.
HRH The Duke of Cambridge said: "We're going to really use the final as a moment to promote good, positive mental health for everyone. It's quite timely bearing in mind what we've all been through with this pandemic. I think there's going to be, sadly, a lot of repercussions from this in society, not just in football, in terms of people's mental health. Hopefully the FA Cup can be a bit of a pivot that people can rally around."
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group, said: "Emirates has a longstanding partnership with The FA and the utmost respect for The Duke of Cambridge and his mission to de-stigmatise mental health through the Heads Up campaign.
"We are happy and honoured to donate our use of The FA Cup title, and use this platform to raise awareness for such an important cause. With the challenges that the world is facing this year, it's more relevant than ever for us to use our global reach to inform and unite people around mental wellbeing."
Mark Bullingham, The FA's chief executive, added: "After several difficult months for many throughout the country, mental health wellbeing is more important than ever. We are delighted that, thanks to the support of Emirates, we are able to dedicate The FA's showpiece fixture in the men's football calendar to Heads Up.
"I would also like to thank the BBC and BT Sport for their support for the campaign, as they share our passion to combat this important issue. Together we will encourage people to talk about mental health, striving to remove the stigma that exists around it.
"The Duke of Cambridge has always wanted to start the biggest ever conversation on mental health. Renaming the FA Cup in this way, with millions around the world watching, is our way to help stimulate this discussion."
Godric Smith, chair of the Heads Up campaign, said: "We are extremely grateful to The FA and to Emirates for this unprecedented gesture of support.
"Dedicating the final of football's most iconic domestic cup competition to Heads Up is a huge statement about the importance of mental health and their commitment to it. Given the many different impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever that we talk about our mental health and help support one another, and The Heads Up FA Cup Final will hopefully generate many more of those conversations amongst fans and the football community."
